Help! [name]Baby[/name] due in 1 week. [name]Don[/name]'t know sex but already have a [name]Saoirse[/name] (seer-sha) and a C
athal (ca-hal)
We are both Irish and husband’s first language is Gaelic so tough spellings and pronunciations don’t bother us.
My favorite for a girl is [name]Fionnuala[/name] /[name]Fiona[/name] but husband dislikes. Thinking [name]Cian[/name] for a boy and maybe [name]Niamh[/name] or [name]Oonagh[/name] for a girl. Any thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated!!!
I like [name]Saoirse[/name] a lot, but not so much on [name]Cathal[/name]. I like [name]Fiona[/name] and [name]Niamh[/name]. I’m not sure what the pronunciation of [name]Oonagh[/name] is, so I don’t know how I feel! I like [name]Cian[/name], but one of my favorite names of all time is [name]Ciaran[/name] (although, I prefer the American spelling, but you’re Irish and that spelling is nice, too).
[name]Hope[/name] this helps!
I love [name]Niamh[/name], [name]Cian[/name] and [name]Oonagh[/name] from your list. Here are some suggestions for other Irish/ Celtic names.

[name]Fionnuala[/name] is by far my favorite Irish girls name, I’m sad your husband doesn’t like it. [name]Saoirse[/name] and [name]Cathal[/name] are both wonderful. I think Naimh works really well with them, [name]Oonagh[/name] just has to many letters for it’s sound [name]IMO[/name]. [name]Una[/name], or even [name]Oona[/name], would be lovely though. [name]Cian[/name] is nice, but which way would you pronounce it?
